30 March 2012

I get up at 5:00 a.m. every morning during the weekdays to go to hot yoga. And tonight, I have an 8:45 soccer game. That means that the game won't be over until about 11:00. I am going to be dead on my feet!!! I don't think I'm going to get up early to go do my WW weigh-in. Not to mention, I kinda don't feel like I did my best this week. had 3/7 uncontrollable days. Which were a result of poor planning, letting myself get too hungry, and not drinking enough water. A different issue on each of the 3 days.

My energy has been very low this week. My husband has even commented on it. I'm not sure what it is, but I do feel and look run down. Maybe it's my allergies, which are pretty bad right now. I kinda feel like if I had a uterus, this would be my time of the month. I still have my ovaries, so maybe it is a female problem. Maybe it's all of those things rolled into one.

(TMI section)
And to top it all off, I've been a little constipated these last few weeks. My pooing has definitely become irregular. I think it is because I stopped taking my spirulina supplements. Started taking them again about 2 days ago, but things are still kinda slow on the move.

Next week is my 6th week on maintenance with WW and I really want my last weigh-in to be a good one as I move from maintenance to lifetime. Can't wait to get that key charm. It's been 12 years in the making.

So disappointed that my new running shoes didn't work out. :-( Bought them over the weekend and tried them out on the treadmill yesterday. They are the Merrell barefoot shoes and I wanted to try out a different style because the colors are more fun. Well, they are so much wider than my current pair. My feet were sliding all around. And they've got this detail on the toe that everytime I took a step, my big toe nail would get snagged on it. YUCK!!! Thank goodness REI has a generous return policy. I guess I'll take them back and get my regular style with the boring colors. First world problems...

I've decided to ramp-up my weight loss for the rest of the week. I'm going to cut back to 1500 cals/day to try and get a little closer to 153. I really want to get below 155 and stay there -- even on my day-to-day weigh-ins.

All I can say is THANK BOB that there were only 4 servings of cookies in that package. Because I ate them all. Phil and I went out and about yesterday right after breakfast -- and all I had to eat between breakfast and dinner @ 5:00 was a Larabar during the movie. So, of course I was stark-raving hungry. Ate a not-so-sensible dinner, but considering I hadn't eaten much that day I figured I could handle it. What I couldn't handle was the uncontrollable hunger afterwards.

I tried everything. I ate fruit, I drank water, I ate peices of ham. Anything to make the HUNGRIES stop. Finally, once all the cookies were gone, I declared that I was going to bed (at 8:30). That worked. Went to sleep and woke up totally puffy from the salty ham and the sugary cookies.

I'm not exactly sure what I could've done differently. Because I wasn't hungry in the earlier part of the day and I didn't feel hungry during the movie. I guess I should've eaten something before the movie. I didn't realize how hungry I was until I took that first bite of burger. Once I started eating, I knew it would be very hard to stop.

Down another .2 pounds. These last few pounds are just fighting me.

Funny story this morning. I was doing a trail run and when I finished, my GPS said that I did 5.35 in 36:23. And I though holy shit! How did I do so many miles so fast??? I was so proud of myself...and then I figured out my GPS was set to kilometers. Well, still a good time, just not as good as the bionic speed that I thought I woke up to this morning.

Weigh-in: 154.4 lb

lost so far: 23.6 lb

still to go: 0 lb

Diet followed reasonably well

DANGIT! I left my breakfast/lunch at home today. On the bright side, I won't have to pack it for tomorrow. :-) So, I had to eat our crappy cafeteria food. I had 4 over-cooked jennie-o breakfast sausage, and apple, and an orange. Everything else had gluten, eggs or dairy in it. Thank goodness I'm meeting a friend for lunch earlier than usual today. I don't think I'd be able to make it until noon.

So, yesterday I didn't do my regular scheduled run. I thought that I'd work through lunch and then leave work early to hit the gym. I wound up working later than I usually do. Yesterday was a very busy day here at work. Not to mention I very proudly found a major bug in the code, which caused all kinds of hellabaloo, but make me look really good. I love feeling like a savior. OK, just kidding (half-way).

I'm having lunch with my friend S today. She used to work here about 3 years ago and we've kept in touch over the years. She's 1 year WW lifetime and she also runs barefoot. But she does these ultra marathons - like 50K and stuff. While I was doing my semi-dry 5K, she was running a 50K through snow, mud and gunk. She's my weight loss hero. :-)

I think that now that I'm about to hit maintenance, I'm going to move my journal over to a blog -- and blog about getting off these final few pounds and the struggle to keep it off. What works for me and what doesn't. There are so many books/blogs, etc about how to get weight off your body, but how do you keep the weight off once it goes down? This is a question that I'm fearing and struggling with every day. I love my size 6 Levi's. I don't want to EVER give them up. EVER!
